Could you forgive the man who murdered your brother? That's what a man named Gespard has done. And that's the kind of radical grace that is transforming a nation known for one of the worst genocides in history.

It’s easy to talk about “unity within the church” as long as we’re talking in the abstract. However, what do you do when a Christian brother or sister offends you or sins against you? Do you “write them off” and go your separate ways? I submit this is often the easier choice, but Jesus and the standards of his kingdom rule do not permit us to do so.

Our justice system can hold people accountable for their actions, but it cannot bring complete recompense to the victims. No man-made system can do that. Only redemption, cleansing and healing can do that.
